Profitable Tile and Grout Restoration – $155K Cash Flow, 15+ Years

This established grout and tile restoration business has served the Greater Chicago area for more than 15 years and offers steady cash flow, strong margins, and a simple mobile model with no lease. Restoration services remain in demand in all economic conditions because they offer a more affordable alternative to full tile replacement.

Technicians perform most field work. The owner manages estimates, scheduling, administrative tasks, and some occasional hands-on work. A technician is currently being trained to take over estimating, which reduces owner involvement and increases operational depth. The business continues operating smoothly during owner vacations, showing that day-to-day operations do not rely on constant owner presence.
